Thin Semiconductor Transmission-Counter System for Nuclear Particle Detection

Abstract
Sturdy silicon transmission counters as thin as 0.0012 in. were produced and used in conjunction with a passive pulse‐adder circuit which combined the dE/dx and E pulses so that the nonuniformity and energy straggling in the transmission counter would not decrease the resolution of the energy spectra. Construction and performance of these counters are described.
